Grains of Sand

http://Grains of Sand

Titles, titles, titles.  Sometimes naming a photo and my blog is the hardest part of everything I do to get a post out.  I’m not sure why it’s such a stumbling block for me except that having spent most of my work life in advertising, I have this deep-seated attitude that headlines are all-important.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t a copywriter… I was the account person who helped select the headline from a list that someone more talented would create.  How I long for someone to help me now, to provide a short list of choices where I could go “YES, that’s it!”  Instead my poor befuddled brain struggles to come up with something short and perfect, and failing miserably.  I’ve thought of using quotes like a lot of bloggers do, but I need to figure out the layout for that, which is more than I feel like doing when up against the wall for posting time.  And of course, the worst part is that similar to dreaming up the perfect retort long after an argument has ended, that phenomenally awesome line will suddenly materialize in my brain too late, when I’ve moved on to other photos, other posts. Oh well, sometimes it’s just best to “borrow” a title from elsewhere, as I’ve done here from the pose.   It’s such a silly thing to obsess over, it’s time to get back to my ocean gazing!

  • Outfit:  GiuliaDesign – Saretta.  I’m not generally a huge fan of ripped clothing, but something about the combination of the bra, the open sweater just starting to slip off of one shoulder, & the extremely torn jeans in front with the butt cheeks hanging out just the right amount in the back, well, let’s just say I’ve worn the outfit for two days straight now & still don’t feel like changing lol! Comes in 10 colors for the top (the bra stays white), 6 for the jeans; sold separately or as a fatpack. Sized for Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya. Available EXCLUSIVELY at the June Swank Event, open June 7th – 30th.  Demo available.
